The next day on campus in accordance with Niken's previous intention that he will try to wear a hijab after dabbling at home last night and also after having a long dialogue with the last night.

When entering the campus gate, especially when Niken entered the gate area of the Faculty of IPS, quite a lot of eyes looked in shock, surprise and may also be amazed by the latest look of Niken although still remain also nemplok his trademark white hat that he always wears in a tilted position on his head.

Upon entering his class even his classmates clapped to see the progress shown by Niken with his new appearance.

“Huhuuuyyyy....!” classmates clapped and laughed at Nike that morning.

“Iiihhh..pangling I saw you, Ken!” some of his friends said they even asked for a selfie with Niken for a photo together

Mira who came a little later was also surprised not to see the drastic changes of her best friend.

“Crazy you, ken! Koq can anyway?” asked Mira while dumbfounded to see her best friend now

“Emangnye? Hehehe!” reply Niken while laughing amusedly see Mira dumbstruck.

“Who told you, Ken? Your papa? Or that alim? or who?” mira asked in a row out of curiosity.

“Mo or mo tau bangetttt?” goda Niken was still chuckling

“Bangetttt!” reply Mira while pinching Niken's arm

“Awww..aduhhh..sick tauu!” Niken grimaced in pain from Mira's red cutout on the skin of her arm.

Now it's Mira's turn to laugh to see her best friend grimacing in pain.

After seriously attending the first lecture of the day. Mira again talked about Niken's performance.

"Niken, what's going on? You changed once!" it seems that Mira has not finished her curiosity

"Yes, Mira. I decided to go hijab."

"Hijab? But you seem to have always been comfortable with how you used to look."

"I know, but I wanted to find a deeper meaning in life. I want to be close to religion and feel better about myself."

"But Koq, all of a sudden? What's up, Niken? What made you decide this?"

"This is the result of many considerations and discussions with friends. I feel like there's a void in my life that I need to fill with more meaningful things."

"So, this has something to do with Nature, right?"

Niken scrunched his forehead, "Nature? What does this have to do with him?"

Mira tried to cover up her suspicions, "It's okay, maybe just a coincidence. But are you sure of this decision?"

"I want to try, Mira. I feel like this is the right move for me."

"But our classmates will definitely wonder a lot. What will you answer?"

"I'll be honest with them. This is my life's choice, and I have no reason to hide it."

"I know, Mira. But I can't live to please others. I must live for myself, and for my relationship with God."

"I'm still not sure about this, Niken. But, if this really makes you happy, yahhh will only be able to support what you think is useful for you."

"Thank you, Mira. That means a lot to me."

Niken's journey in understanding her life choices continues with many questions and views from her classmates. Although Mira initially hesitates and does not fully agree, she eventually realizes that this is an important change for Niken and she must support her best friend. Niken, steadfastly and with conviction, lived her life changing with the hijab, finding peace within herself, and

getting closer to his religion.

On her journey, Niken learns not to let others' views get in the way of her determination. He realizes that everyone has his own way of life and he must choose the best for him. The support of his friends, including Mira, provides additional strength for Niken to stay afloat in the face of the challenges.

Although there were still big questions among her classmates, Niken remained steadfast and patient. He did not ignore his friends who asked and even tried to explain his choices wisely. Increasingly, people's views on Niken change are starting to change. They saw how his decision changed Niken to be happier, more confident, and calmer in the face of every aspect of his life.

Finally, Niken managed to convince her friends of her sincere and kind decision. He invites them to respect the changes in their lives and understand that everyone has the right to choose their own path.

Niken's change to a more hijab-wearing woman not only affected her appearance, but also changed her from the inside. He found true peace and happiness in living his life with confidence and love for God.

Niken and Mira remain friendly despite differences in views. Mira eventually realizes that her best friend has found happiness in her life choices and she must respect and support her fully. Niken has proven that her life changes are part of her

from her search for peace and deeper meaning of life, and she is ready to face challenges with courage and full confidence.

Not how long Nature had come However, this time something was different. Nature was immediately stunned to see the appearance of Niken. Nature saw Niken wearing an elegant hijab and looking so beautiful. Nature felt like she saw a completely new figure and from a distance she was very surprised to see the appearance of Niken who looked different that day with her new hijab. However, because Alam's sitting position is in the front row so he has not had time to greet Niken who sat with Mira in the back row.

“God's beauty, how beautiful she is!’ nature revealed in her heart that lately it seems to be amazed by the action of Niken, especially when Nature accidentally saw how Niken advised Mira for the problem that entangled Mira yesterday.

Previously, Niken had never been seen with this kind of appearance. He prefers to dress casually, not too

he pays attention to appearance, and does not look like a devout Muslim. This change made Nature even more amazed to Niken. He could not hide his admiration at seeing such a huge transformation in his classmate.

When the lesson begins, Nature cannot concentrate. His thoughts continued to drift to Niken's change. He wondered what caused this transformation. After the class was over, Nature decided to approach Niken and express her admiration.

With a pounding heart, Bahrul Alam approached Niken who was wrapping his books. "Movies,"

call Nature gently. Niken turned his head, looking surprised to see Bahrul Alam approaching him.

"Oh, hi brother Alam. Can I help you?" asked Niken with a friendly smile.

Nature returned her smile. "I just want to say that you look so beautiful today. Your change in appearance is surprising. I didn't expect you to look like this."

Niken smiled shyly. "Thank you, brother!  I made this change out of a desire in my heart. I felt the need to get closer to religion and wearing a hijab was part of my personal journey. I'm trying to be better as a Muslim."

Nature was also moved to hear the explanation from Niken. He respects the decisions and changes made by his friend.

"I really admire your bravery, Niken. This change of yours inspired me even more to become better at living my life as well."

Niken smiled expectantly. "Thank you, Brother. I wish we could all support each other and grow together on our own journey."

Nature was delighted to be able to talk to Niken about this change. He realized that appearance is not everything, but the kindness and passion to be better is what really matters. The moment taught him not to judge a person by mere physical appearance, but rather to look deeper into their heart.
